Thanks Adam! How about collapsing the comments down to show the first and last couple, with a more link, like friendfeed does?
- John Duff
Another thought, is there any way to filter out posts that you have already looked at, unless there was a comment added?
- John Duff
John - yes collapsible comments sound great. Any preference on whether the comments are in chronological or reverse chronological order? So far I've got one strong vote for reverse :).
- Adam Loving
With regard to dropping read posts... I think I could make this work. I don't think it would be too disruptive because the posts get scrambled every 180s (to preserve the "most recently touched" order that FF puts them in). I feel an options page coming on...!
- Adam Loving
adam: nice job. small UI thing: is there a way to insert a line break after "{ } posted an item on { }"? as is, this line runs right into the title of the linked item, and causes a momentary bump as you're reading along. thanks!
- Bill Barol
Hi Bill - excellent point. I didn't want to add a full line break there in order to condense everything as much as possible. However, today I added a colon to give it a little more separation. hope that works for you.

Works for me. Thanks.

AJ, great idea on the Fail Whale theme. I added a second targeted ad around the concept of Microsoft looking for Twitter's lost fail whale. http://thomashawk.com/2008...
- Thomas Hawk
The original ad is here: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott...
- Philipp Lenssen
I think this is smart. They can't directly go up against Apple on "coolness", and they're not. This is more of an end run. In a way, it's similar to the Think Different (sic) campaign: popular wisdom says that Vista is bad, but those who are dispensing the popular widsom, though well dressed, are uninformed.
- Jon Galloway
i guess i'm super old school... in my early days of modem surfing (circa late 80s), this ad would essentially have windows saying: it is cool to illegally copy us!
- Rob Reed
I do not get it.

I've already been through this with some other people the FriendFeed thread mentioned by Alan Le above. I'm not going through it again but I will say that I think it's a great ad campaign and I wish Microsoft the best of luck with it.
- Akiva Moskovitz
This is in no way real.
- Aaron Myers
the campaign appears real; the crap on the bottom seems to have been added by somebody in photoshop. I like this quote from the zdnet article: "Vista is now actually better than its reputation. That’s a marketing issue"
- Paul Whitaker
Not the new campaign.
- Sean Alexander
Alright so this is the real ad: http://www.tothepc.com/pic... -- They're trying to say "Everyone thought the world was flat" saying "Everything thinks Windows is the same, but get the real facts about Vista, etc, etc," or something like that. Who knows, it's not very straight forward.
- Aaron Myers
are you sure that they are not just trying to say everyone should just be pirates because pirates are cool? ;)

justin, it may have been a flickr refresh thing... it seems to happen a lot.
- edythe
I think sometimes when you are uploading shots to Flickr FF jumps the gun a bit and posts your thumbnail here. Then you upload a few more and it rejiggers the upload to add more of your photos. It think when that is done though likes and comments are removed from the original FF post that is replaced by the more updated Flickr post... I think. I could be wrong.
- Thomas Hawk
My comment is gone, although it shows up under my ME tab?
- Victor Ryden
Just rechecked and it's gone from there now also. weird.
- Victor Ryden
I've seen similar behavior to what Thomas mentioned above. The other day I uploaded a few photos, took a short break (10 minutes maybe), then uploaded a few more. There was a like that disappeared when the rest of the photos showed up, all in the same post.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Thanks for the suggested probabilities. That all makes sense, but shouldn't FF treat it as one post?
- Justin Korn
Thomas & Justin: FriendFeed leaves the comments/likes on the variant posts. For 2 missing likes & 1 comment, see (1) http://friendfeed.com/e... for "Anna Haro and anna liked this" and "Don't feed the Communist Disney character? - Victor Ryden"
- Mitchell Tsai
FriendFeed will continue adding new pictures to Flickr inputs (a) 6 of the top row of 7 will stay the same. (b) The left picture of the top row will continue to change (c) After 25 photos have been reached, no more will be added, but the left picture will be a new onw (d) ~1 hour after the last update, FriendFeed will put pictures into a new Flickr post (E) Weird: On some occasions FriendFeed won't pick up Flickr stuff for 1-7 days....
- Mitchell Tsai
Mitchell: How in the world did you find that link? I don't even see it in the "me" tab! Thanks for sharing, but still weird IMO.
- Justin Korn
Advanced searching: Do a search for the word "Flickr" (e.g. "search?q=Flickr&who=justinkorn") in your own FriendFeed page and you will see the tons of variant permalinks FF makes as each Flickr picture comes into FriendFeed. FF suppresses these duplicates in your "me" page, otherwise you might see 1-25 entries for your Flickr sets. I've complained about the disappearing comments/likes before. Maybe it's time to put this in feedback again.
- Mitchell Tsai
I think one reason FF keeps the old links is not to break the items that Anna Haro and anna saved http://friendfeed.com/e..., but I think a better approach would be to merge all the comments/likes, and adjust everyone's saved set to the one with the most comments/likes. (Bonus: How about letting us choose the order of the 25 pics?)
- Mitchell Tsai
If you compare (1) "service=flickr" http://friendfeed.com/mitchel... (2) "q=Flickr" http://friendfeed.com/search... -- they both bring up recent Flickr posts, but the second search allows you to see suppressed duplicates.
- Mitchell Tsai
Totally with you Mitchell...you posting in Feedback? or shall I?

So my comment about consolidation was intended mostly to initiate a conversation on the subject. Success!

- Mark Trapp
Kevin: I wanted to do both. Your friends should know about an interesting conversation happening about that topic somewhere else, and should be able to discuss it amongst themselves too, here. Personally, you should have loaded a comment that made it clear what your intent was. If I want to talk about something with just my friends, I would have loaded a comment with a link to the original, but with a comment saying "I want to talk about it just with my friends, to see what you think."
- Robert Scoble
Re a F2F conversation on video: that would be cool. I've been meaning to write a blog post on 'who owns the conversation'. I've got some concrete ideas on the subject, especially how it pertains to conversations about blog posts that happen off-blog, but I also don't feel any one person has the right to speak for others in a 'this is how things should be' kind of way. Definitely one of those social issues that is still contested because it's so new.
- Kevin Fox
We're now discussing this here: http://friendfeed.com/e... See Kevin how I stated my intent?
- Robert Scoble
There should be an easier way to view all the conversations on a particular piece of content. FF should connect all the threads in the background through some unique identifier for the content (like the URL that this link points to), then let people decide whether they want to view just their friends' comments or those from extended community (including imported Disqus / Intense Debate comments for the same URL).

Apparently Kevin because Robert stumbled on your thread, he was already your friend or perhaps in some other way in your Friendfeed vicinity -- and you say you wanted to discuss this with friends -- so from his point of view your entry may have looked like a dupe. And dupes among segments of friends are indeed a problem on Friendfeed. Nobody minds the dupes we don't notice, but we may mind having the conversation on the same thing split up among segments of our friends.

- Shivanand Velmurugan
This thread keeps growing and still going nowhere. It is really simple: if you want to discuss things only with your friends, make a private room just for you and your friends, and post "friends only" stuff there. No one else needs to find you've created a separate thread of "their" topic somewhere else.
- Dread Pirate PJ
I have a very simple model of ff, which is perhaps a lot like Kevin's. I come here to discuss things with my ff friends. Many of them are people I don't know at all in rl, but it's important to me that these conversations are mostly with the same 100-200 people, over and over again. As a result, rooms are not very useful to me, since when I comment on something in a room, it is not automatically placed in the feed of all my friends. Rooms are at least useful for finding content and resharing it.....
- j1m
The feeds of people with very many friends, like Robert, are not very useful either. With so many people commonly commenting on his thread, I mostly don't remember who any one person is from one encounter to another, and for me that makes conversation a lot less fun. So Robert's feed, also, is mostly useful for resharing.
- j1m
I do really wish that ff would organize feed items that share a url, by presenting them all (that is, all the ones I can see) right next to one another, or joining them into a single nested feed item, that has the different conversations hanging off of it.

- mattpovey
so far its only Vista and XP, but mobile devices will be added in the future. Starting with the Windows Mobile platform first. I bet if you hack away at it now you can get it to work. If i can hit my corporate servers from my current phone (8525), there is no reason why a simple implementation of this would not work now.

I was mildly disappointed it doesn't yet have a MAC version as I am having some problems with Foldershare there and was hoping this would be a good replacement.

Robert - it blows Foldershare out of the water, I wouldn't be surprised to see Foldershare discontinued, actually. Mac should be coming really soon now - I've already seen video of it running on a Mac
- Sarah Perez
While I really like Mesh, I hope Foldershare does not go away. The other day foldershare came in handy when I was at a client site and needed a doc from desktop that was in a folder that was not a part of the mesh. In addition I didn't want to remote in to get it either. Mesh is great and I am imprewssed by it but at least I can run Foldershare on my Macbook Pro and it allows me to take it on calls occaisionally instead of my Windows laptop.

Point your mobile browser at http://m.mesh.com Tried it yesterday and although limited it works well. Even on my iPhone!

Just found out that iPhone 2.0 software lets you save photos from the web. Just hold your finger on a photo and you get the option to save.

I crack up all over again every time I look at this.... the 4 Twitter accounts just take it right on over the top...
- Kamilah Gill
It would've been better if they took off the Gtalk, created four more Twitters, and filled the bottom row with the blue "t"s LOL
- Mona Nomura
Oh my HELL what is that? Are those all splogs?
- Cyndy
Whatever they are, they're quite terrifying LOL

Heh

Seen something similar recently, without the Twitters though. All splog feeds.
- Thomas Frütel
That's absurd. If that person really and truly has that many feeds, they need a non-computer related hobby.

Speaking of which...it would be great if skitch was a standard service in FF

Whoa! RSS overload damn! ok, I totally agree with you on that one! but you could *hide* their blog entries... but wait, there's 4 freakin' twitter accounts too! What is that an entire company in there?!

Looks like I might actually have to sign up for Netflix again, just for all the streaming.
- Jason B.
Yeah, there's incentive right there. Also have to reconsider the necessity of cable or satellite service...
- Jordan Hofker
Jordan: I'm at least going to probably cancel any premium movie channels because of this. Now if they'd just do a Hulu plugin too.
- Jason B.
Yeah, that'd be sweet. Would certainly save me a lot of money each month.

is the uk getting Netfix?
- david marshall
Netflix's streaming library is still fairly limited, but this is still awesome news. I was thinking about getting a Roku, but now that I can get the content directly on my Xbox I'll probably wait.
- Daniel Shaw
Streaming movies on the 360 is enough to convince me to get a Netflix account.
- Thomas Hunsaker
I'm worried about the quality of netflix streaming to the 360. No way will it be HD. Will it be SD, or worse?

Perhaps this could be a game to get Katie involved. We have yet to see her sing in Rock Band, but singing unaided is one of her favorite past times.
